Lineage - $15 a month
Star Wars Galaxies - $15 a month
Star Trek Online - $15 a month

Every major MMORPG with at monthly subscription. - $15 a month

I think $15 a month is pretty good for AH.

$15 is well worth it for what you can do and what you can learn.

Why play something else out there? Games that are played 10 hours everyday by lonely old single men, living with their parents and never had a gf ............................. ........oh wait................. err nvm.

$180/year.

Add up anything you pay for more than once a year and see how much you're spending.

Soda from a vending machine?
Gasoline?
Fast food?

Complain to them....

This has probably been asked many times. And I know I'm gonna get a lot of bad responses, but $15 bucks a month for just one game? It's a little extreme. $10 would be much more, you know, smart. $15 a month is more money than web hosting. And besides, it would probably get HiTech more customers. And don't whine that it would attract n00bs. Don't you remember when you were a n00b and couldn't even takeoff/roll correctly? And look at yourself now, you're level bombing bases in that Ar234 of yours by the minute. Just saying, $180 a year is a lot for a game. But, maybe, I might pay 15 bucks a month if you allowed Paypal and by the month payment (no auto renew). The sale depends on user preference. Just getting my idea out there.

And no, I'm not a n00b anymore. I can level bomb, dogfight, dive bomb, fight in tanks and kill ships fine.
theres always offline mode. cant beat the price of that  :aok
hell, you dont even have to have internet to play it.

Just consider yourself lucky you didn't play AW in the very early years when it was hourly and sometimes paying $12 an hour just to play.

ack-ack

Genie(or was it delphi? ) my highest monthly bill topped out near $1,200.00 total for ISP, Hrly Play, etc..... needless to say, the wife only allowed me to play for about 3 months and it was over

then came AirWarrior on AOL
only got near $795.00 one month on AOL, before they changed the price, think it went from like $2.00 an Hr to Free? or something like that...... then it was all downhill from there.....

when it came to AOL, she never made me quit, just fussed at me when the bill got outrageous.....

these players today do not realize how lucky they are

Nope, they take it for granted, as i have.
This is more than just a game to some. It's a hobby an escape from real world troubles or just hanging with good fellas. It is well worth 15 a month. IMO its worth way more than that.

Why the facepalm? I think it would have been better placed  if he would say something like $ 5,- a month. $ 10,- is quite reasonable.

Keep this in mind as well I have been on for about six years or so & the price has not gone up a cent since I have been on. Not a lot of any product can keep prices at that rate for that long in this day & age.

I was on Genie and I remember my monthly bills being around the $700 mark and had to use my student loans to help pay the bill.  Thank Jeebus AW4W appeared on AOL not long after and I was able to restart my addiction at a far lower cost.

Hmm , I believe 14.95 is fairly standard for most online games, except they make you pay for the box first before you can even try.
